As you will see, so far the markets have greeted the post-Tyco with a bit of a thud. This is one we were a bit cautious on the valuations as being fully valued and perhaps even having a phantom premium just because of the break-up itself. Here you’ll see the pieces:

The remaining Tyco International Ltd. (TYC-NYSE) after a 1:4 reversesplit is down marginally at $53.00. It opened at $52.92 Monday andhave managed to close up north of $53.00 per share each day since.Unfortunately each close has been slightly lower than the day before.

Tyco Electronics (TEL-NYSE) is trading at $39.30, barely above the opening price on Monday at $39.20. Shares have briefly traded over $40.00 since the spin-off, but based on the trading activity it looks like the specialist was more than happy to give shares away there.

Covidien Ltd. (COV-NYSE) is up an entire penny today at $42.21 and have traded down from roughly a $43.00 open (conflicting opening prices). It looks like the specialist was more than eager to give away shares at $43.00.

In all fairness, shares of other conglomerates haven’t exactly been lighting up the road: General Electric (GE-NYSE) has seen shares stuck in a $38.00 to $38.79 range for the last week, and 3M (MMM-NYSE) has seen only an $87.13 to $88.40 range in the same time.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
